Why should they get sued? They made a site to allow people to communicate, they did not invite peodphiles or other predators onto the site, but how can they stop it? Ask people for the DOB, to stop under 18s? Somehow i doubt that would work, the issue of people lying arises again
As mentioned time and time again, i fully agree, it's the kids and parents fault, the parsnts were happy to leave the kids in front of my space when there were no problems, no something arises from their kids own stupidity they blame myspace? Come on, lets get realistic, should we sue all th clubs where girls have got really drunk and then claim to be abused? Or should people possibly accept that they do have responsibilites and not everything can be pushed onto some other company/person..regardless of myspace making money, it's the parents responsibility to ensure the child isn't enterring dangerous grounds i.e. if swimming in the sea,
i do see how my space knew about this etc, but come on theres 1000s of sites like myspace/chat/im services, and what can myspace do? delete accounts where they suspect the person is a predator, when he / she would just create another account
plus face being sued for branding someone a predator, or should they monitor all conversations via the site? Which surely infringes upon peoples privacy
maybe the parents should have looked at filtering certain sites out, if the kids ae naive enough to lie and believe anything bloke sites where this could happen,
